This thread is full of lolz and people talking about crap they don't understand. They are all great phones but on paper (because its not released) the nexus wins. Get over it. 4.65" 720p, omap4460, vanilla android, unlocked bootloader, 1850mah battery. As long as it doesn't crumble in my hand or catch fire when first booted we are good.
Me? I kinda want a D4 ;P

I agree also, on paper nexus wins, except for camera and 720p screen.The 4.65 screen means nothing unless you are watching a video. But the better phone is the phone that has everything highend that functions like a highend phone should without worry. Other wise I would probably prefer my Bionic. I am buying a nexus but I am buying it to play with like what some other people are doing. I expect it to be buggy and bugs slowly worked out. Until then I believe the Rezound is the best all around phone out on verizon (user experience wise).
Ok, 4.65 inch screen? Meh, not so important when the difference between 4.3 and 4.65 = on screen buttons. NFC, don't trust it, yet... What if a hacker bumps his phone against my phone and steals all my info?
Samsung processor? No complaints, at all... GPU? We'll just have to wait n see...
AMOLED screen? If you're the type that likes really black blacks and beautiful over saturated colors, then you're good. I like my plasma tv too! You'll never see me put a plasma on my computer tho? For a cinema experience, choose AMOLED... For everything else there's SLCD... AND the fact of the matter is, since were talking paper specs, Rezounds ppi is still much higher then that of the Nexus...
Let's not forget that the HTC Sense's strength is also its weaknesses. Blur is a MUCH lighter UI, albeit much more choppy until the introduction of OMAP4 processors. It's a fast UI, but anything but smooth. Sense is very smooth (not sure what's wrong with ol girl's Rezound other then a buttload of running apps). In exchange for smoothness, Sense gives you weight and memory hogging tho Sense does a good job handling the memory issues.
Sense VS Blur for smoothness? No comparison, Sense wins! For pure speed? Again, no comparison, Blur wins! So will benches be better on a Bionic over a
Rezound? Of course! Now, if Bionic beats Rezound after rooting and lightening up the load, then I'd understand but, right here, right now? Why bother...
Nexus, non removable battery, crap (Razr too). Why? Not for hard resets but more like, what happens when the battery starts going bad? Gada get a new phone in its entirety... No thanks...
No expandable storage? For most, not such a big deal... For my wife n I? Big deal as we keep A Ton of pictures, videos and a crapload of music on board... I have a 32gb card, its not only full but, I can't get everything I want on it... Could I use Google Music? Of course but I'm often in the mountains or traveling and getting no data signal... So that's crap...
However, after all that being said, my wife likes the Nexus a lot and seriously is considering a Nexus in spite of what she doesn't like about + a easy software upgrade path... I like the idea of the Nexus, but we'll have to wait and see how everything pans out...
However, for me, I'm going to stay away for the reasons I listed... I'll wait for root and CM9 and keep Sense + ICS from HTC officially as a backup thanks...

The Gnex battery IS removable. As for removable storage it has USB storage so its not an issue for the majority. You carry a spare SD I carry a thumbdrive..coin toss IMO.
To the others: As for the negative screen comments..ok lets think about this..its the same size as other phones under normal operations and then gets bigger when watching videos. I don't see how that's anything but better.
Its good you talk for the majority about the storage. How do you use a thumb drive on a nexus? To all others about the about the negative screen comments? I don't remember reading any negative comments with the screen on a nexus..? And comparing screens it isn't the same as comparing a d3 to Bio/razr/rezound. Only advantage is in videos taking away the buttons. Where I would prefer the larger screen is for more browser and app real estate.

The negative screen question was aimed at Htown not you. And I agree pick your poison with the screen.
